From 'FOMO' To 'Delulu': How Gen Z Language Is Reshaping Indian Politics

India's political class is increasingly embracing Gen Z slang from Parliament speeches to Instagram reels as parties compete to connect with the country's youngest and fastest-growing voter base. During the Monsoon Session, MPs debating the Anti-Paper Leak Bill peppered their speeches with terms like "FOMO," "delulu," and "clocked it," reflecting a broader shift in political communication. With Gen Z expected to become India's largest adult generation by the next General Election, political messaging is rapidly adapting to resonate with young voters.
